This summer I did a lot of fun things. I saw Billy Joel in Boston, saw Billy Joel in New York, and learned how to water ski and wake board! On June 26th my parents grandparents and I went into Boston to see Billy Joel at Fenway Park. Before the show we ate at Jerry Remy's. Billy Joel put on a great performance that night. A week later my parents and I visited New York City and saw Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden, I met the famous rapper Action Bronson after.

There were many intriguing news stories this summer. One of those news stories was extremely sad, the actor and comedian Robin Williams passed away. Williams committed suicide by hanging himself in his garage. There was a huge outpouring of grief and sadness.
Another big news story this summer was a lot more local. The popular super market chain Market Basket almost went out of business when the CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was fired by his cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas and the board of directors. Employees picketed and went on strike. Customers also boycotted the store until Arthur T. Demoulas was reinstated. Eventually a deal was worked out and Arthur T. Demoulas bought the company.
Good blog post! Your choice of news stories was interesting and the clever caption switch was funny.
